What are the most memorable funny craigslist stories?

There was a situation where two people met through craigslist dating. They were both really into horror movies. So they planned to watch a horror movie at the guy's place. But the power went out right in the middle of the movie. Instead of freaking out, they started telling each other their own spooky stories by candlelight. It was a really fun and unexpected turn of events that made for a great dating story.

There was a story where two people were at a beach party. They danced together once but didn't exchange numbers. One of them felt a strong connection and posted on Craigslist missed connections. The other person was hesitant at first but then decided to respond. As they got to know each other more through chatting, they realized they were meant to be together. They met up again and are now in a relationship.

A lady was looking for a particular type of antique dresser. She found it on Craigslist. The seller was very friendly and told her the history of the dresser. It had been in their family for generations. The lady was so excited to get it and now it's a centerpiece in her bedroom.

One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.

Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.

In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.

The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.

The unexpectedness. For example, when people show up looking completely different than described or with really strange items. It makes the encounter memorable.

Well, a woman found a job through Craigslist. She was looking for a part - time gig to supplement her income. She applied to a posting that seemed a bit different from the usual. It turned out to be for a small start - up. She got the job and as the start - up grew, so did her career. She now has a great position in a successful company all because of that Craigslist encounter.

The story of a young entrepreneur is also memorable. He started a business selling homemade cookies. His first attempts were a disaster. The cookies were either too hard or too soft. But he used humor to deal with the situation. He would joke about his 'experimental cookies' to customers. Gradually, he improved his recipe and now his cookie business is booming. His ability to use humor in the face of failure is very inspiring.
